Mommys eat it for babies that young. But its a little early for trick or treating. Ours doesnt start until 5 but it doesnt get hopping until 5:30.

I haven't purchased any candy for the little turdpokers. I'm hoping none show up, but if they do, I guess I'll hand out cans of Vienna sausage or maybe a handful of change.

"Here kid, go buy yourself...awww, who am I kidding? This won't buy ****. Go away."

Try living on a military base where the requirement to live here is you MUST have kids. So every year we buy 10 pounds of candy and we have maybe half a pound left after all is said and done.

The Base Captain did however put a rule down this year that trick-or-treating can only be done from dusk until 8:00 p.m. So hopefully we will have a military precision in the tricksters this year.

Am I the only one who had the family that didn't allow us kids to go trick or treating until we were old enough to walk ourselves from door to door, knock and say "trick or treat!" ourselves?

Yes, the babies are cute, but come on, they have no clue what's going on, and if you're old enough to be a parent, you're too old to be trick or treating. Accept it.

I looked this up because I couldn't think of how "trunk" could possibly be a *good* thing for the kids. Apparently the "trunk" part is that people decorate their car and stand behind it and all the kids go though the parking lot and get candy.

(Apparently they play games, too).

Well my son made a killing and we had a smaller amount of kids this year than normal. We had about 150 kids stop by from 5-7. I let him have a couple pieces of candy and he had a second wind, dancing on the lawn to daddys music and then crashed at 8.

I've taken him out trick or treating every year and my neighbors have been really cool about it. We have a lot of kids close in age so the first year as a baby its more to show off the costumes to each other. Also we had baby cookies ( num nums anyone?) for the infants. But by age 2 he knew what to do and although he was shy, he still would say trick or treat with prompting. This year at three he was a pro. He knew which houses he wanted to go to, ran up said trick or treat, and said thank you as he ran away. We stopped after cruising down one street, but he come home with a bucket overflowing with candy.

I of course had a mug of coffee with me, and all the parents commented that next year they would do the same. I think the parents were more tired this year than the kids.

i took my 3 year old nephew trick or treating (just got back in half hour ago) and he did the most embarassing thing...

there we are standing on this lady's porch, and he (only 3 years old) blurts out his "trick or treat" and then the lady offers the bowl of candy out to him. so he fills his little hands with all the candy he, and as i am helping put it in his pumpkin bucket, the lady turned and set the bowl of candy down on her hallway table.
well i guess the little bugger figured he was allowed more so he drops his bucket of candy and marches right into the lady's house to the candy bowl. then out of nowhere he gets really sick (im assuming from eating candy when he normally doesnt) and just projectiles in this lady's house. i was mortified.

so out of curiousity, what's the etiquette on that, do you offer to clean it, or apologize, get the kid and leave before they really get mad?

all in all though, this has been my worst halloween EVER.

We got our first (and last) trick-or-treaters at about 7:30. It's pouring rain here, and we didn't have any candy, so we sent them packing.

Saw a lot of babies dressed up as lions this year, but what took the cake for me was a baby girl, maybe about a year old, dressed up in full snow white regalia, with tiara, zonked out in Daddy's arms while big sister trick-or-treated at our local mall.

It just drizzled down south by us. Enough to dampen Spiderman's poly-batting muscles but not his candy begging spirit!

Did a couple of blocks, plus candy he had from Halloween at Disney and school and the sitter. He counted his swag and reported back that he had 144 pieces of candy he had to eat.

Gross

You killed her?

Internet forum version:

And what really happened:

" Im 18...my friends ditched me out trick or treating, got my 2 garbage bags of candy and my mask stolen after some 14 yr olds kicked my *** for talking shi[/i]t to them. It was a typical night for me though..."

you all are horrible! beating up kids, stealing their masks, handing out sardines,

I'm only 20, so I still remember the trick or treating days... I would never beat a poor kid and steal their mask! *runs to a corner and cries*
